Who, what, where, when, why?

I figure I owe the reader an explanation of what this blog is and why.  Lets just go through it.

Who
I'm Scott.  Middle aged (sigh), married, with cats.  Don't have kids (long story).  Love cars, car projects, racing, computers, science and technology.  I'm terminally overcommited.  Late on every project.  Slow to respond.

What
This blog is the quintessential blogging error.  There are two kinds of blogs.  Subject blogs, which are narrow in variety of topic, but deep in topic material... like a blog dedicated to the mating habits of a horned toad.  Those are of great interest to horned toad fans.

The second is a diary type log.  Lots of rambling subjects, not a lot of focus.  Really only interesting to those who know the author.  I'll be writing one of those.  You'll get stuff about pop culture, cars, computers, mobile phones, cats... who know what else.

Where
Well, on this URL, and I'll eventually figure out how to notify on Twitter and Facebook.

When
Not regular, and probably not often.  as I see subjects that interest me and have time to document them.  Maybe 3 in one day, maybe nothing for a month.  We'll see.  I'll try to avoid the terminal error of letting the blog die.  If I think that's going to happen, I'll try and post to report that - though I'll probably leave the older posts as artifacts in case I provide something of value.

Why
Good question.  Mostly because I need a bit of a creative outlet.  Somewhere to document thoughts and opinions.  And the challenge of writing them.
